Carson City Christmas tree recycling next week

Christmas tree recycling in Carson City starts Jan. 4 by placing trees curbside on your regular trash collection day.

The program is in cooperation with Capital Sanitation and Waste Management Inc.

Curbside collection will take place from Jan. 4-Jan. 8. Trees need to be cut into sections no longer than 3-feet.

Drop off locations also can be found, during the same time period, in the JC Penney parking lot; the Carson City corporate yard on Butti Way, just west of Carson City Public Works on Airport Road; and the Carson City Landfill.

After Jan. 8 trees can be taken to the Carson City landfill for recycling.

Remove all decorations, lights, tinsel and bases from the trees before recycling.
